2LT Eric Payton was a person to be modelled. He could influence the most stubborn person. 2LT Payton was the cadet battalion commander of WSU Army ROTC. He commissioned after the spring quarter of 2001 with his masters. He went to Fort Sam Houston for his Officer Basic Course. After the diagnostic PT run he collapsed. They had found a brain tumor when they brought him to the hospital. A few days later he died.

I launched the new RaiderBattalion.com site recently (September 2008)! It's still a work in progress but the software I've used should make it easier to update and it is significantly more flexible. Thanks to everyone who has supported this effort. Send me an email if you have any questions or comments!
